The medical concubine never thinks of going out of the wall

Chapter 1520 Dawn of Victory

The symptoms of cowpox and smallpox are very similar, the difference is that cowpox is not fatal, but smallpox is fatal.

The reason why smallpox is terrible is that the death rate is too high.

People in the isolation center died every day, and most of these people died within ten days of being infected. According to the statistics of the number of people, the proportion of deaths in the first ten days was as high as six to seven out of ten.

And the ten people sent in by Prince Qin's mansion, without exception, were all alive.

This makes people see the hope of conquering smallpox.

In fact, the last day is needed. When the smallpox begins to scab, it indicates that they will survive, and Tang Shijiu inoculated ten people with cowpox, and the chickenpox on their bodies has already scabbed.

For the sake of rigor, and to make this success even more sensational, the tenth day will have to wait.

The hourglass in the Hall of Mental Cultivation pushes the time little by little.

When the sun went down, almost everyone couldn't wait to get up.

The emperor ordered the servants to go out of the palace and go to the isolation center to check the life and death of the ten people.

Waiting became anxious and long.

Tang Nineteen was not in a hurry, because he had a plan in mind.

An hour later, the sky turned dark, and the servant came back, out of breath, with a red face and a high-pitched voice, happily reporting to the emperor: "Reporting to the emperor, the ten people sent in by the Qin Palace are all alive and well, and all The high fever has subsided, the spirit is very good, and the acne on the body has begun to scab. The two imperial physicians in the isolation center said that this is an important sign of overcoming the danger. These ten people were successfully inoculated with cowpox, and they will be like milkers in the future. , will never have smallpox again."

The emperor was startled, propped up on the table excitedly: "Go again, send those ten people into the palace, I want to see for myself."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Tang Nineteen stopped the servant: "These ten people have stayed in the isolation center for ten days. They must be cleaned before they come out, so as not to carry the smallpox virus on their bodies."

"Yes, princess."

When the servant went out, Qu Tiange suddenly knelt down on one knee: "Father, I have something to ask you."

The emperor came out from behind the table and helped Qu Tiange himself: "Ge'er, you are now a hero of Daliang, so just ask for anything."

There was a hint of jealousy in the prince's eyes.

"Father, although those ten people are death row prisoners, I promised them that day that if they voluntarily cooperate with my son, once the method of conquering smallpox works, I will intercede for them and avoid the death penalty. It's wrong to promise them without permission, it's just..."

Before he finished speaking, the emperor reached out and stopped him. There was no anger on his face, and he smiled generously and lovingly: "Hey, you don't need to say anything, the emperor understands, and the emperor will not let you lose your promise. How to deal with people is up to you."

"My son, thank you, Father."

Qu Tiange cupped his hands to express his gratitude, and the emperor patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction, his eyes full of approval and appreciation.

Tang Nineteen was a little moved. He looked at Qu Tiange, but found that although he was smiling, the smile didn't reach his eyes at all.

Tang Shijiu felt a little sad again. What kind of disappointment had he experienced before he no longer longed for his father's love.

When the servant came back, ten people were also brought into the palace.

The emperor confirmed the acne scars and life and death of the ten people with his own eyes, and immediately ordered that the method of vaccination be promoted to the whole people immediately.

So far, this smallpox catastrophe has finally seen the dawn of containment.
